Filling out action tiles by hand in large board configs can be tedious. The action_tile_pattern_maker binary can make things easier by taking in an action tile configuration and outputing a pattern from that configuration. For example, a single action tile could be defined for a board config and the pattern maker could generate the action tile configuration for the entire row assuming all action tiles in that row are the same shape and size.
Usage:
Executing the binary on the command line will output instructions:
Windows:
.\action_tile_pattern_maker.exe
You must include the following arguments:
[1] Path to text_file constaining action tile pattern
[2] row increment
[3] column incrmeent
[4] array row increment
[5] array column incrment
[6] number of times for the pattern to repeat
Linux:
./action_tile_pattern_maker.out

Say we want to create action tiles for this example board config:
** board begin **
1111111111222222222233333333334

First, create this example input file contents containg the action tile for the top left board tile:
action_tiles.txt:
(1,1-3,0,0)
Run the input file through the pattern maker to generate the action tiles for the whole row.
Windows:
.\action_tile_pattern_maker action_tiles.txt 0 4 0 1 9
Linux:
./action_tile_pattern_maker action_tiles.txt 0 4 0 1 9
The file containing the pattern will have the same name as the input file plus "_pattern" added to the end. Its contents in this case will be:
action_tiles_pattern.txt:
(1,1-3,0,0)
(1,5-7,0,1)
(1,9-11,0,2)
(1,13-15,0,3)
(1,17-19,0,4)
(1,21-23,0,5)
(1,25-27,0,6)
(1,29-31,0,7)
(1,33-35,0,8)
(1,37-39,0,9)
Now, use the pattern maker to generate all the rows for the board config. Put the configuration for the first row in the input file:
action_tiles.txt:
(1,1-3,0,0)
(1,5-7,0,1)
(1,9-11,0,2)
(1,13-15,0,3)
(1,17-19,0,4)
(1,21-23,0,5)
(1,25-27,0,6)
(1,29-31,0,7)
(1,33-35,0,8)
(1,37-39,0,9)
Run it through the pattern maker:
Windows:
.\action_tile_pattern_maker action_tiles.txt 2 0 1 0 9
Linux:
./action_tile_pattern_maker action_tiles.txt 2 0 1 0 9
The output file will contain:
action_tiles_pattern.txt:

Now all the action tiles for the board have been defined. Copy and paste them into the board config and format as desired:
